Parque Waryong (와룡공원)

1.0 Km    1810     2022-05-02

Waryonggongwon-gil 192, Jongno-gu, Seúl.

Es un parque inaugurado en el año 1984, que se encuentra ubicado en el barrio de Myeongnyung-dong, distrito de Jongno-gu, Seúl. Lo encontrará bajando desde la roca Malbawi, por el camino de la Muralla de Seúl. En sus cercanías están ubicados los parques: Samcheong, Changgyeong, y el Parque Natural del Monte Bugaksan. Presenta la forma de un dragón acostado, que es de donde proviene el nombre “Waryong” (significa dragón acostado según los caracteres chinos).

La poca profundidad de tierra que tenía el parque dificultaba la forestación, por lo que solo disponía de algunas acacias. Pero mediante la participación de los ciudadanos en una campaña de plantar mil árboles, se ha logrado convertirlo en un parque verde y abundante.

En particular, en la época primaveral se cubre de flores de todo tipo: de la colza, del albaricoque, de la azalea, de la forsitia, etc., y consta de instalaciones deportivas como campo de bádminton, centro de aeróbics y gimnasio, entre otros.

1.0 Km    35026     2024-08-21

Yulgok-ro 99, Jongno-gu, Seúl.

Construido en un principio como una residencia real, el palacio Changdeokgung se convirtió en el principal lugar de gobierno durante la dinastía Joseon después de que el palacio Gyeongbokgung fuese destruido durante la invasión japonesa del siglo XVI. Además de su relevancia política, el palacio es reconocido por su arquitectura y su bello entorno natural. En 1997 la Unesco designó al palacio Changdeokgung como Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad. Como parte del proyecto de creación de nuevos espacios, el Paseo Bajo la Luz de la Luna del Palacio Changdeokgung ofrece una oportunidad única de presenciar la belleza de los palacios coreanos. Este recorrido comienza en la puerta Donhwamun y continúa durante unas dos horas a través de los pabellones Injeongjeon y Nakseonjae, y el Jardín Huwon.

Jirisan Restaurant (지리산)

+82-2-723-4696

Jirisan is one of the representative Korean restaurants in Insa-dong, an area known for its traditional culture. One of the trademarks of this restaurant, besides its amazingly delectable bean and tofu dishes, is a wooden sign that welcome guests into a neat and cozy interior.

Each day, fresh beans are ground at the restaurant to prepare dishes such as soybean paste, soft tofu, and bean-curd tofu stew. Bean-curds are prepared by using seawater, which gives the tofu a unique flavor. The fresh and clean taste of the tofu is one of the many reasons that choosey tofu aficionados flock to the restaurant.

Not just limited to tofu, Jirisan presents customers with a full-range of side dishes such as kimchi, japchae (glass noodles with sautéed vegetables), cucumber kimchi, seasoned seaweed, braised lotus roots, roasted yellow corbinas (a type of fish), leafy greens, bean-curd stew, and more. The restaurant gives visitors a chance to experience a hearty traditional Korean-style meal, but has thoughtfully toned down its seasonings to appeal to a wider audience (particularly those not used to spicy foods).

One of the recommended menu items is the Jirisan set meal, which offers diners the chance to sample foods that are popular in the Jirisan region. Adventurous diners may want to try the sea urchin soup or dried Pollack soup.

The restaurant, originally a traditional Korean house, has been modified over the years to better suit the needs of its customers. The walls surrounding the structure were removed and a glass ceiling was installed to allow guests to enjoy the natural light of the sun as they sample some of the area’s best traditional Korean cuisine.

Puerta Gwanghwamun (광화문)

1.0 Km    8523     2022-12-13

Sajik-ro 161, Jongno-gu, Seúl.

La puerta Gwanghwamun es la entrada principal del palacio Gyeongbokgung, levantada en 1395 por Taejo, el primer rey de la dinastía Joseon. Es la puerta sur de las cuatro puertas de la antigua ciudad de Hanyang (Seúl), levantadas sobre los cuatro puntos cardinales.

Su nombre significa “la luz de la civilización iluminará el mundo”, y contiene los altos propósitos que la dinastía Joseon tuvo al ser establecida. Gwanghwamun había sido construida de granito. En el centro se halla una entrada que se asemeja al arco iris, denominado Hongyemun, y arriba está la torre del portal.

Gwanghwamun guarda un recuerdo amargo de la historia de Corea. Durante la ocupación de Corea por los japoneses (1910-1945), el gobierno colonial nipón destruyó la puerta con el objetivo de suprimir la nación coreana, y en su emplazamiento levantó el Edificio de la Gobernación de Corea. Hacia el año 1968, el gobierno coreano construyó de nuevo la puerta Gwanghwamun, pero usando concreto. Sin embargo, en el año 2010 se completaron los trabajos de restauración total en madera, que es la que se ve actualmente.

The restaurant serves original full-course Korean meals that are prepared using hundreds of kinds of wild vegetables, including special seasonal vegetables.

A typical full-course meal starts with delicious pumpkin porridge, followed by seasoned wild vegetables, root vegetable ssam (condiments wrapped in vegetable leaves), slices of boiled meat, and steamed lotus leaf-wrapped rice served with jjigae (Korean stew) and various side dishes. This kind of traditional feast is pleasing to both the eye and the palate and is topped off with sikhye (traditional sweet rice drink). Lunch specials are also available.

The Moon Guesthouse is situated near a number of interesting tourist destinations including Unhyeongung Palace (3min on foot), Bukchon Hanok Village (5min on foot), Changdeokgung Palace (5min on foot), and Changgyeonggung Palace (10min on foot). The guesthouse was named ‘moon’ (‘door’ in English) because it has many 176 doors and windows. Upon entering by the gate, visitors will see a ‘ㄷ’-shaped hanok building in the courtyard, in which a wooden bedstead and a table are placed. On the opposite of the hanok building there is a wall roofed with tiles engraved with Korean patterns such as deer, pine, turtle, etc. Flowers in the flowerbed lined up along the wall are in bloom and the bonsai are also well-kept in the house. Renovated and opened as a guesthouse in September 2011, Moon Guesthouse consists of a bonchae (main building) and a byeolchae (detached house). The rooms are decorated with red clay and hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees), and have under-the-floor heating (ondol). Each room is equipped with an air-conditioner, and has a 40cm-thick layer of red clay over the ceiling for insulation, making the rooms cool in summer and warm in winter. The house has seven individual guestrooms and five modern bathrooms, but the entire building (bonchae or byeolchae) can be rented, too. In particular, the unhyeondang of the bonchae is very popular as it can be converted into one large space for special events, group workshops, etc. simply by opening all the sliding doors (Bunhapmun – Goryeo construction style). This room, which is decorated with a flower-patterned windscreen, a landscape painting, and calligraphy, has been used as a shooting location for various TV programs including KBS2’s TV reality program Man’s Qualification and its variety show The Human Condition. The guestrooms are also equipped with traditional furniture including a cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The guesthouse also provides a variety of experience programs from 11am to 3pm, including tea ceremony, wearing Hanbok (traditional Korean clothes), making kimchi and gochujang (red chili paste), playing a traditional musical instrument, making a rubbing of a stone inscription, calligraphy, drawing orchids on a fan, and so on. The house has about seventy hanbok and other clothing accessories, as well as a royal costume. Its calligraphy and drawing orchid programs are run directly by the owner, who used to work as a classical Chinese teacher at a high school.
